The verdict
A chill, satisfying cable-and-rack building sim that IT people enjoy, but shallow, repetitive and buggy. Skip it if you want real networking depth or lasting challenge.
Great for
IT workers and cable-management fans who want a relaxing, low-pressure building game
Main risk
You see everything within a few hours; the loop is repetitive, with bugs and lost saves
What players love
Teaches networking and is addictive
